SWEET 
CORN 
I can make a whole meal out of a plate of Golden Bantam like this. Expect you can too. 
One pound will plant 200 feet of drill or 
200 to 300 hills. 
Plant for succession of crop every 3 
weeks from April to July in hills 3 feet 
apart each way and 6 kernels in a hill, 
cover about half an inch and thin out to 
3 stalks. Don’t forget the main varieties 
such as Golden Bantam, Stowell’s Ever¬ 
green and Country Gentleman. 
152—COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. (Shoe Peg.) (82 days.) Extremely productive, 
small cob, densely covered with irregular rows of long, slender grains. The milky 
kernels are plump, pearly white and tender. Ears average 8 to 9 inches in length, 
and very prolific. A great variety for the table, as well as canning. Pkt., 5c; 
% lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.25, postpaid. 
154 — STOWELL’S EVERGREEN. (85 days.) Standard main crop variety for 
market and home use. Very productive; ears 8 inches long; fine flavor, and 
keeps a long time in cooking condition. A canning favorite, cuts more corn 
than any other sweet corn variety. Pkt., 5c; % lb., 20c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c; 
5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. (See colored picture, Page 64.) 
Golden Varieties 
White Varieties 
142 — EARLY MAYFLOWER. This is the ear¬ 
liest sweet corn of good size. White cob and 
kernels. Medium large ears, excellent qual¬ 
ity, a choice early Sweet Corn. Pkt., 5c; 
y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.00, 
postpaid. 
150 — HOWLING MOB. A large eared, second 
early variety. Ears measuring from 8 to 9 
inches long, with from 12 to 16 rows of pure 
white grains. Crowds gathered about the 
originator’s stand clamoring to get a supply. 
It was truly a “Howling Mob.” A fine va¬ 
riety for the home and market gardens. 
Pkt., 5c; Vi lb., 20c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c; 
5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 
145—TENDERGOLD. (Hybrid Golden Bantam.) An excellent variety, tender 
and sweet, golden yellow, extra fine quality. Wilt resistant. For home or 
market, I think this is the best we list. Pkt., 5c; % lb.. 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 
70c; 5 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. (See colored picture, Page 64.)

144—GOLDEN BANTAM. (72 days.) The standard yellow sweet corn. We have 
had some discussion over the regular Golden Bantam and the new Hybrid Golden 
Bantam type. I had both in my garden this year, and although the hybrid out- 
yielded the regular Golden Bantam and is a little earlier, I still think that the 
old favorite Golden Bantam is mighty hard to beat. Pkt., 5c; % lb., 20c; lb., 30c; 
2 lbs., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 
146—EARLY GOLEEN SUNSHINE. (65 days.) The kernels are broad and heavy, 
exceptionally well flavored. The earliest of all golden sweet corn. Fully a week 
earlier than the Golden Bantam. By all means try some 
Golden Sunshine this year. Pkt., 5c; % lb.. 20c: lb.. 30c; 2 
lbs., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. (See colored picture, Page 59.) 
148—GOLEEN EVERGREEN. To me the natural color of 
sweet corn should be a golden yellow. Golden EYergreen 
is a cross between Golden Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen, 
combining the fine qualities of each. It is a main crop sort, 
very productive, has large ears and the flavor is exceptional¬ 
ly fine. A good variety for canning^ Pkt., 5c; % lb., 20c; 
lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid.

Pop Corn Selected for Seed 
.56 — JAPANESE HULL.LESS. Without doubt the best Corn 
for popping. The kernels are similar to the best strains of 
White Rice but a little longer; white in color; fine flavor and 
absence of hull or shell. Commercial Corn-poppers prefer 
this variety. 14 lb., 10c; % lb., 15c; lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c; 5 lbs., 
75c, postpaid. 
157—ARGENTINE JUMBO. This is the big yellow popping 
corn. It is also offered under the names of Dynamite and 
Giant. We have a selected strain of seed grown under our 
own care and supervision. Delicious flavor. 14 lb., 10c; % 
lb., 15c; lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c; 5 lbs., 75c, postpaid.
